WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio --  Approximately 45 employers and their reservists participated in the 445th Airlift Wing's annual Employer Appreciation Day Nov. 1, 2014. The event began with breakfast and the wing commander thanking the employers and providing an overview briefing. Participants then set out to touch and see some of the wing's assets. The security forces squadron displayed a variety of weapons and a Humvee. Airmen from aircrew flight equipment popped open a raft and showcased various survival equipment. Emergency management provided the employers an opportunity to try on gas masks, and see the break-down of a mobility bag and mobility gear. And the fabrication flight showed off its skills by demonstrating some of the equipment used to make aircraft parts. After lunch, the group boarded a C-17 Globemaster III for a flight which included aeromedical evacuation squadron demonstrations of patient care and transport.
